Abstract

Purpose: This study aims at developing and implementing Smart Safety Management System based on IoT/ICT Convergence for safety of high-risk groups working at disaster or industrial field. Its functions are as follows. Method: We will develop three devices for keeping the safety of high-risk jobs: Sensor of inactivity, Lora based Refitting technology for communication between high-risk workers, and Lora Gateway for monitoring entire situations. Then we will test three devices in respect of their functions, and propose their applicabilities in the field. Results: The system can send and receive safety tags and danger signals by which sensor technology can detect dangerous state of workers. And its command terminal was developed by low-power wireless communication technology and LoRa Gateway, which can fulfill the lifting functions between safety tags. And, furthermore, the command terminal can monitor dangerous situations of disaster sites in real time and can perform the preemptive rescues. Conclusion: This study proves the functional efficacy of Smart Safety Management System for worker safety in various high-risk occupational groups, and also suggests ways to secure worker safety in disaster area and various high risk industrial sites.

연구목적:본 연구에서는 재난현장 또는 산업현장에 투입되는 고위험 직업군의 안전을 위하여 IoT/ICT 융합기반의 스마트 안전관리 시스템을 연구하고 이의 성능을 분석 제시하였다. 연구방법: 연구에서 제시된 고위험 직업군의 안전을 위해 부동상태 감지센서, 각 대원간에 통신을 위한 LoRa기반의 리피팅 기술, 전체를 모니터링할 수 있는 LoRa Gateway를 개발하여 기능을 테스트하여 현장적용을 위한 기반을 제시하였다. 연구결과 :고위험 직업군에 작업현장에서 작업자의 위험 상태를 감지하고 전파할 수 있는 다양한 요소를 파악하고 이에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 작업자의 부동과 같은 위험상태를 감지하는 센서기술, LoRa 통신 기반의 리티핑 기술, 위험 상황을 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 LoRa Gateway를 분석하여 그 연구결과를 제시하였다. 특히 통신 음영지역의 최소화를 위한 단말간 리피팅기술을 연구하여 통신 불통 문제를 감소시켰다. 연구결론:본 연구를 통해 다양한 고위험 직업군의 작업자 안전을 위한 스마트 안전관리 시스템의 중요한 기능적 요소를 고찰하고 그 효용성을 검증하였다.
